Experience Hendrix

“Experience Hendrix” is a compelling name for a guitar geeks gathering featuring some fairly big names playing songs made famous by the biggest guitar name of them all. An occasional tour launched by the Jimi Hendrix estate in 2004, this incarnation will feature Minneapolis-launched Jonny Lang, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Dweezil Zappa, Taj Mahal, David Hidalgo and Cesar Rosas of Los Lobos, Rich Robinson of the Black Crowes, Brad Whitford of Aerosmith, Mato Nanji from Indigenous and Doyle Bramhall II. They’ll be backed by bassist Billy Cox, who played with Hendrix, and drummer Chris Layton, who played with Stevie Ray Vaughan. Janie Hendrix, Jimi’s sister, is traveling with the tour, promoting the new Jimi Hendrix postage stamp. Jon Bream
